You can't shit in the Grand Canyon

[blue_lotus13]

Yesterday I did a story about three GP guys who are going to be kayaking the Grand Canyon in August. Since the Grand Canyon is protected, you have to enter a lottery in order to be allowed to kayak its river system. One of the GP guys has been trying to get on the river for 14 years, and his ticket was finally drawn this year.

Anyway, we were talking about all the conservation involved. Apparently, anyone using the river system is required to accept a regulation container to pack out their excrement. This group will consist of eight people, who will be on the river for 8 days. That's a lot of shit to carry out.

(For some reason, I found this really funny)

otherwise, it sounds really amazing.

Ooh! There's a tube system thing you can use for this! We just did a story on it! It's called the Poo-zooka. A class of high school students here used it on a canoe trip recently!
